Chapter 311 Meilun is Getting Married
"Xiaoqian, did you see her enter the house?"

"No, I just saw her close the door."

"I closed the door when I went out, why did she close my door again?" A trace of displeasure flashed in Bai Kou's eyes.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing opened their eyes wide, "Could it be that she opened the door to your room? There are a lot of valuables in your room now, why don't you lock the door when you go out on weekdays?"

"You are right in reminding me that the door has to be locked. What is valuable in my room now is not only the money, but also all kinds of office books that I need to use every day. Any lost one will be troublesome and difficult to replace. "

"Do you want to ask Qiongyu why she opened your door?" Xiaojing asked.

"Don't worry, wait until I check the room first. It's fine if you don't lose anything. If you lose something, I will be the first to find her. Also, thank you for telling me."

"What's there to thank for that? She's a girl. What right does she have to open the door of the manager's room privately? She can be labeled as having bad intentions casually. It's a pity that the two of us are still arguing about whether she is a smart person. Anyway, look at her." You don't look stupid." Xiaoqian wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"I'll keep an eye on her, and if you have time, please help me."

"Okay, don't worry, we're sleeping here, it's best to keep an eye on her." Xiaojing said with a bag of tickets, "When Mei Lun Meihuan comes back, we'll remind them to keep an eye on her."

"Then I'll leave it to you guys. I'll talk to Shizi about the marriage first." Bai Kou shook the envelope, got up and left.

When Qiongyu in the front hall heard footsteps in the direction of retreating, she raised her eyes and saw that it was Bai Kou coming out, she was glad that she hadn't dozed off and had an affair, she had been standing obediently by the felt curtain inside the door, not daring to sit down .

The hall leads directly to the back yard, girls like to go here, she dares to be half-slack if people see her and report to the young master, her errands will be over, she will not do stupid things.

"Bai Guanshi." Qiongyu saluted respectfully.

"En." Bai Kou looked Qiongyu up and down.

"White management?" Qiongyu looked at her with some puzzlement.

"It's tiring to stand like this with nothing to do, and there's no place for you to rest in the front hall. If you're in a hurry, it's okay to ask the second-class girl to stand by for you for a while, don't suffocate your body."

"Yes, the maidservant has noted it down, thank you, Steward Bai, for your concern."

Bai Kou lifted the curtain and left.

Gu Yun sat on the Arhat couch outside the bedroom. The room was warm and comfortable, making him lazily unwilling to move, and he didn't even take a few bites of the snacks placed on the couch.

Miao'er and Feihua were standing outside, seeing that the young master didn't eat much, they didn't know how to persuade him, so they simply kept silent.

Bai Kou greeted her outside the door, and Fei Hua lifted the curtain to welcome her in.

Gu Yun picked up a plate and stuffed snacks into his mouth.

Bai Kou looked at the almost untouched plate on the couch, and walked slowly forward.

"My lord, don't force yourself if you don't want to eat, just put it on display."

Gu Yun immediately put down the plate, and threw down the two bites of snacks in his hand, hiccupped, and quickly poured two mouthfuls of tea.

Seeing that Bai Kou was holding the envelope in her hand, Miaoer knew that she had something to say, so she motioned for Feihua to help, and the two of them removed the couch full of food and put it on a clean one.

Bai Kou told them to take down the food and divide it up while it was fresh, so as not to spoil the taste if left for a long time.

Miao'er and Feihua moved the couch to the main hall next door, called Qinglan from the study to come out, and the four of them ate together.

"It's not that it tastes bad, I just don't want to move." Gu Yun quickly clarified.

"It means that you are not hungry. If you don't want to eat, just don't eat. It's not a big deal."

Gu Yun immediately grinned, and glanced at the envelope in Bai Kou's hand.

"Anything for me?"

"The Sun family wrote back."

"Oh? Yes? No?" Gu Yun regained his energy and sat up straight.

"It's done." Bai Kou took out the two letters from the envelope, unfolded them and handed them over.

Gu Yun quickly scanned through the contents of the letter with the speed of one glance at ten lines, and laughed out loud when he put down the letter.

"We're going to have a wedding. Does Miwa know?"

"Not yet. I haven't seen her yet. I'm probably telling the girls how to behave. I'll tell her when she comes back from work."

"Oh, suddenly I feel a little bit reluctant."

"Congratulations, you have experienced the feelings of a father when his daughter is married."

"Nonsense!" Gu Yun laughed, "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, let's talk about what rewards we should prepare for her."

"No matter what you give, it must be stated on the gift list that it is makeup, so that Meilun can take it away by herself. If you add a box, her family will deduct some things if they don't keep it together." Sit down on the other side of the Luohan couch.

"What's the point? Whether it's adding boxes or makeup, I don't give them in advance. I just wait for the day when the makeup is delivered. I ask the butler to arrange the carriage. By the way, I put my gifts on the carriage. Her family can still get it." What?"

Bai Kou giggled for a while, then took out the pen and notebook on her body and opened them, "That's fine, so what should I give you? The first-class girls around you are used to seeing good things, so it's not good to give them low-end ones. I'm afraid the rewards you got during the winter hunting period will be spent on this."

"It's worth the money. Meilun has been with me for ten years. It's worth the money."

"With your words, it will be easy."

Every income and expenditure of Gu Yun has an account to check with Bai Kou, and he said that he is willing to use all of it to add makeup to Meilun, but after careful calculation, it doesn't take that much. The gold-faced face that girls often wear is enough, and Gu Yun has all kinds of cloth ready-made in his hand. In comparison, rouge and gouache have become the cheapest expense.

The monthly fee for a first-class girl is only one or two taels of silver. It is definitely worthwhile to spend one or two taels of silver to buy a set of rouge powder and use it for a few months. For the grade of this two taels of silver and a box of powder, it costs only ten taels of silver to buy a set of cosmetics and tools including combs and grates for Meilun.

After the two discussed it properly, Bai Kou went to do her work, and Uncle Yan, a great matchmaker, had to continue to finish the work.

Not long after, the sisters Meilun and Meihuan came back from the front. Gu Yun specially called Meilun into the room to tell her the news. It quickly spread throughout the Zhongming Yuan, and everyone was happy for Meilun when they learned that Meilun was getting married, and they all came to Baoxia to congratulate her.

Bai Kou did not forget to send a message to Meilun's family, telling her parents and family to prepare for their daughter's marriage.

The family closed the door and cried a lot, crying for the beauty of life and suffering, and finally let her marry someone, but after marrying, she has to work by herself, why not be a concubine for a rich family, at least someone to wait on.

Naturally, I dare not let outsiders hear such complaints, otherwise people would poke their backs and scold their family with white-eyed wolves. If the masters find out, they will lose their good fruit.

Yan Bo also learned of the news immediately, and happily got busy preparing for the upcoming marriage.

The little girls brought the news to Mama Pang and the eldest lady, and the eldest lady immediately ordered Mama Pang to prepare a gift, and rewarded Meilun tomorrow as an extra makeup.

Everyone was happy for Meilun, except Qiongyu who didn't take it seriously, just pretending to be happy with her.

She has seen the outside world before, and she doesn't envy Meilun at all for letting Liang go out to be a commoner. She feels that it is most comfortable to have a master to rely on. As long as she hugs the master's thigh tightly, she has the power in her hands. Same, that is the life she yearns for.
